Nubira SX Hatchback L4-2.0L DOHC D-TEC MFI (1999)
Brake Fluid: Description and Operation
HYDRAULIC FLUID
Brake fluid should meet the DOT-3 specification. Use DOT-4 fluid for heavy duty applications such as trailer towing or mountain driving. Use only
clean fluid from a sealed container. Fluid exposed to air will absorb moisture from the air. Water in the brake fluid will cause the fluid to boil, and the
rubber components to deteriorate.
Thoroughly clean the master cylinder reservoir cap before removing it. Do not let any dirt or foreign material fall into the fluid reservoir.
There is a fluid level switch in the master cylinder reservoir. When the fluid level is low, the BRAKE lamp in the instrument cluster will turn on. The
correct brake fluid level is marked on the driver's side of the master cylinder reservoir. If the fluid level is below the MIN indicator mark, check the
hydraulic brake system for leaks and then refill the reservoir to the MAX indicator mark.
